Tasting notes
Deep plums, blueberries and red cherries with some toasted spice and orange peel. Medium to full body, with creamy tannins and a plush core of dark berry fruit. I like the subtly bitter spice and mineral undertones, adding layers of complexity. Long and savory at the end. Drink now or hold.

A beautifully crafted pinot with plenty of blue fruit, raspberry and orange peel, as well as chalky and limey undertones. Itâs medium-bodied with creamy and silky-textured tannins and a flavorful finish. Lovely now, but even better in a year or three.
The 2020 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley has delicate aromas of red cherries, cranberries, woodsmoke and underbrush. The medium-bodied palate has delicate flavors, chewy tannins and rounded freshness.
